SITE SURVEY
Designing a system and determining an installation’s
requirements are quite simple. After you set up your first
system, the steps will appear logical and soon the process will
become routine.
Before you begin designing or quoting a job, you will need
some basic information regarding the site and the end-user’s
needs. Use the Site Survey Check List below to ensure that you
collect all the information you will need to complete the de-
sign of the paging system. When you have completed the
check list, create a bill of material for the equipment you
need for the installation’s sound system. Refer to the Easy
Design
page 69 for 24V systems.
SITE SURVEY CHECK LIST
This Site Survey Check List will help to determine the paging
system equipment needed for installations. Photocopy this page
and bring it with you when you visit installation sites. You may
need several copies of this chart for each installation.
Section I
Section II
NOTE: Installations that contain areas with different style environments or
sound levels may require Section II to be filled out separately for each area.
Be sure to make enough photocopies of this page for this purpose.

Tools Needed
You will need to bring the following tools with you when you
visit the installation site:
•
•
•
Obtain a copy of the floor plan, or create sketches of any
areas that may require special design considerations (high
shelving, speaker mounting locations, exposed beams,
amplifier location, etc.).
A successful paging system depends on more than just
understanding the physical requirements of the installation
site, it also depends on knowing which special paging features
the user will benefit from and use on a daily basis. These
include zone paging, tone controls, night ringer, feedback
elimination, ambient noise sensors, multiple inputs, etc.
